Yiren went to buy some clothes to go home for the New Year.
Every year, there would be a fashion trend. The red jacket was popular the year before, the green jacket was popular last year, and the yellow jacket was popular this year. What would be popular next year? If he wanted to buy something, he would buy a cheap, high-quality, and slightly fashionable piece of clothing.
There are actually many levels of fashion. The first level is the fashion on TV. It's a distant fashion that seems to be incompatible with our lives. The second level was the fashion on the street. It was not really a fashion, but rather, it was called 'leading the new trend'. There were not many people who really wore such fashionable clothes on the street. The third level of fashion was the real fashion among the common people. When you weren't paying attention, more and more people would wear a certain kind of clothing, and it would gradually become a real fashion. For example, men wearing light green jackets and women wearing white pants were really popular for a while. There were also the popularity of cigarettes, alcohol, teacups, and even spoken language. The first popular cigarette was Longquan, followed by Baisha, and then Honghe. From the "Yellow Crane Tower" to the "Rice Flower Fragrance", and then to the "Confucius Mansion Banquet", a variety of wine was popular every year. Tea cups first became popular with ordinary thermos flasks, then vacuum thermos flasks, and then stainless steel glass cups... I don't know when it started, and I don't know why, but it just became popular. Fashion brought a lot of convenience to people. It was convenient for merchants to purchase goods, and buyers also saved a lot of trouble. They just had to join the fashion team unconsciously. This way, people would not look at you with strange eyes or pester you with questions. Anyway, fashion was the truth.
Yiren used to be particularly disgusted with fashion. He once questioned others like this: "Why don't you chase after the flu?”The pursuit of fashion is just a superficial performance. You don't chase after profound and eternal things. You rush like a flock of ducks to a gust of wind without reason. Don't you feel that you are chasing after something illusory and drifting? Don't you feel that you are being led by the nose by an invisible hand? Red was popular this year, green was popular next year, and neither red nor green was popular a year later. Was beauty like Transformers? Is beauty without objective standards really beautiful? After the popularity of long leg pants for a while, it became popular with small leg pants. After the popularity of small leg pants, it became popular with long leg pants again. This was clearly a case of "uncertain" and "difficult to justify."”Did Lu Xun pursue fashion? He shaved his head casually and followed the trend. That's right. Why should he spend his own money to make others look good? Did Einstein pursue fashion? If he had pursued fashion, there wouldn't have been an unprecedented theory of relativity... I hate men wearing flowery clothes in summer and scarves in winter. Why do they have to wear that? Because it was trendy, because it was popular, they felt that they were trendy, superior, and pretentious. Bullsh * t! Are flowery clothes nobler than unflowery clothes? He was just deceiving himself and others, blindly chasing after them, and had no brains! I say you're using your brain. Even if you're naked, you still look better than wearing flowery clothes. But slowly, Yi Ren changed her point of view. In the beginning, it was because there were more and more people wearing flowery clothes in the summer when she was in university. If she wore too orthodox clothes, it would hurt the self-esteem of those who were outspoken. Not only did she wear bell-bottom pants, but she also attracted the attention of girls. Therefore, Yiren thought,"Don't go overboard in life." It was necessary to be close to reality, so she wore flowery clothes. However, she still resisted the bell-bottom pants that were once regarded as old-fashioned. After a while, He even said," Stick to principles and follow the flow in life.”
After choosing for a long time, there was still nothing suitable. She thought," It's really difficult to choose next year's clothes based on this year's fashion." No wonder looking at other people's marriages to find your own happiness often backfired. In the end, he could only choose one. Yi Ren remembered a saying," Pick left and right, and you'll be blind if you pick a fish."”She was also worried that her future marriage and even her life would be like today. In the end, she could only close her eyes and live her life blindly.
How much? Two hundred and sixty yuan? You said my eyesight is good? Nonsense, I chose it randomly. You said that this kind of clothes is most suitable for tall, broad-shouldered scholars to wear? You're right. Everyone says that I look completely different when I wear a suit. I know that I'm not bad looking. How do you know I'm an intellectual? I have never admitted that I am an intellectual. What kind of person is an intellectual? What's your attitude toward the intellectual? Do you also look down on the intellectual? Without an intellectual, they were afraid that no one would have invented this cloth.
Yiren said she couldn't afford it and was ready to leave.
"How about this? You wear it and take a look. If it looks good, I'll make it more reasonable.”
The clothes were already on Yiren.
"Ya! I'm afraid it's made to fit your body, right? Your figure is so perfect, just like a model.”
"Don't use this to scare me. I'm not a woman. What do I need such a good figure for? How much? One price!"
"I'll sell it to you at a loss. It's 160 dollars.”
Yiren gritted her teeth." One hundred and thirty. If you don't want to sell it, I'm leaving."”
"Add another ten yuan!"
"I'm not adding anymore."
"That's too much of a loss.”
"Add another five yuan."
"Good! It could be seen that his brother was a straightforward person.”
"I don't want it if you lose." Yi Ren was worried that she would be killed again. Back when he was in school, he wrote enthusiastic articles praising this kind of "bargaining" business method, saying that it was a flexible business method that followed the trend of the times. However, he had been hurt by this business method many times, and there were times when others laughed until their teeth fell out. Sigh, this kind of "Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I don't know" business method was like "eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own gods".
Why don't you tell me the actual price?
Can you guarantee that the "clear price" is not confusing?
Yiren really didn't know what to do.
"Forget it, I'll give you 120 yuan!"
Since he had lowered the price, he could only buy it.
Let's go home. There are so many people on the street!
Yi Ren was ready to weigh a few pounds of meat back. It was already an absolute truth to be short of two catties, so worrying was unnecessary. He took the empty plastic bag and touched it. There were no bones! He cleaned the chopping board again. There were no bones on the chopping board. These meat sellers were the most cunning. Not only did they play with the scales, but they also gave you bones that no one wanted. Yiren had been cheated twice. The first time, Yiren clearly saw that the meat seller did not give him bones, but when he poured the meat out, there was a pile of bones. What was going on? It turned out that the bones had already been placed in the plastic bag. How would you know that there were bones inside if you put the meat inside? There was also one time when Yiren checked the plastic bag first and then asked someone to put meat in it. When she went home, there was still a pile of bones. What was going on? So there were bones on the chopping board! After the person chopped the meat and placed it on the chopping board, he covered the bones with it. Then, he grabbed it with his hand and put it into a plastic bag together with the bones. It was simply magic. From then on, Yiren was highly wary of these profiteers who only cared about profits.
There should be no bones this time.
When they got home, his father said,"There are bones again."”
How did that happen? I'm convinced.
It turned out that the bones were in the hands of the person who had put the meat in.
Yi Ren lamented that this profiteer was "impossible to guard against".
Her father nagged at her for being so useless and always being cheated by others! Yiren was a little unconvinced and retorted to her father, but her father didn't answer.
"Your two brothers and two families will be back soon."”
Yiren was more concerned about her father's retirement salary. "How can I get it?" said the father. The supply and marketing cooperative was already in debt. They could only give 60% of the 2,000 yuan pension a year. They didn't have any cash. They gave me three bags of carbolic acid as the New Year's fee. The remaining portion was written in an IOU, saying that I could use the IOU to get the New Year's goods from the supply and marketing cooperative.”
"Have you sold the carboric acid yet?"
"Who wants carbolic acid in winter? He wouldn't give you anything that was easy to sell. Director Peng was the one who contracted the production materials for this year, so he naturally distributed carboric acid for the New Year.”
Yi Ren fiercely scolded those heartless department directors. You still want to take the New Year's goods? Next year, you'll take that IOU to sue. If you don't return it, then arrest those dog officials. Let's see if you still have the prestige!
Do you think you're so great in court? Do you think you can use your power to suppress others and use your power for personal gain?
Was this abusing power for personal gain?
"It's difficult for others. The situation has come to this point. The goods in the individual stores are good, the service attitude is good, and the methods are flexible. It was also bad that he couldn't take out the wine! However, it doesn't matter to me. I earn thousands of yuan a year from my family's side business. I can support myself and rely on my own labor to earn a living.”
"Don't always speak for others. It's not that you don't have labor. You worked when you were young. Now it's time to rest. You have contributed to the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative has so many real estates and has many advantages. Isn't it a big joke that you can't defeat the self-employed? Or is the official's selfishness too strong? Didn't they still sell the house, eat what they should eat, and give what they should give? Why didn't they give money to the retired?”
"Some units don't even have a single cent left. What about the farmers? Who would let a farmer retire after working all his life? One must be content! It's not like I don't have food to eat."
"You're almost seventy and you're still doing a family side job.”
"At that time, we can only rely on the few of you.……Your second brother and his wife have been laid off, but this guy is still working hard. He does everything and can still earn more than 1,000 yuan a month. Look at how good this policy is. As long as you are not lazy, you won't be hungry. Even a fool won't be hungry. You can also work hard to feed people…Your brother's life is not good either. His child needs to study. Although he is a deputy director, how much salary can the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative give?”
Was his father wiping away his tears?
He would never cry.
He really wasn't crying. He said that his eyes were getting blurry." I can't refuse to be old.”
In the afternoon, Yiren's big brother, sister-in-law, two nephews, second brother, second sister-in-law, a nephew, and a niece all came back.
Sister-in-law was busy cleaning the house, while Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law were busy selling balloons.
After dinner, his father said that he was going to have a family meeting, but his second brother and sister-in-law were busy making egg rolls. His father was a little unhappy."I only see that you're busy all year round, but I don't see you making a fortune.”
"Don't blame him. Isn't it good for the family to spend the New Year in harmony? Egg rolls are the business for the next few days. He really can't delay it. Can't we just let him do it? Move the stool next to him, and the family will be open.”
"That's true. The older we get, the more temperamental we get. We're chickens looking for chicken food. It'll cost a few hundred yuan for the two children to go to school next year. What if I don't get some money?”
" Then, you two listen while you make the omelet. I won't talk about anything else but the money. I gave a total of 1,200 yuan as a gift this year, and it was divided equally between the two of you. Xiang gave 50 yuan when she was 30 years old, I gave 100 yuan when Da Cao got married, I gave 100 yuan as a gift to Hong Wei's brother when he got married, and then I gave 50 yuan when he served me tea…"
"We're not very close. Why should I serve you tea?”
"That kid still thinks highly of me. They brought the tea over. How can I not drink it? How can I not pay if I drink it?”
"Red Guard's younger brother? Lian Qiang? Didn't he get married last year?"
"They didn't get married last year. Last year, the one who said he wanted three gold coins and five thousand yuan as collateral money. Hongwei's father was a boorish old man. He said,'I don't have any money, and if I don't want to get married, then forget it.' This caused a huge conflict between the two families.”
"I don't want this kind of bargaining.”Yi Ren said.
"Then who is he marrying this year?"
"I found another one. As long as I have money, I'm not afraid of not being able to find a wife. Speaking of this, I have to talk about Yiren again. She always says that she can't find a suitable person. Why do people find one after another? You're already twenty-four or twenty-five years old. It's time to get married. When you get older, it'll be even harder to find one. In the future, you'll only have a second marriage.”
"Why are you talking about me? I'll think about my own matters.”
"People have to be down-to-earth. Don't think too highly of yourself!……There was also the five-star village, which had collected 10 yuan per person for repairing the pond, and 20 yuan per male for repairing the genealogy!”
"What does repairing ponds and repairing scores have to do with us? You shouldn't have bothered with them."
" Nonsense, everyone has their roots. You can't forget your roots. Yiren is a young scholar. He knows that those famous people don't forget their families..."
"Why are you asking me such a stupid question? I'm too lazy to care.”
"What are you talking about? Where did you go to read? Is this a ghost?”
"I'm too lazy to listen."
"Go there and get back here.”
"Are you blind? Why are you angry? I was wondering why my omelet was burnt. It turns out that it was the first hand who was angry.”
Yi Ren reluctantly returned to her seat.
Yiren remembered that a few years ago, when her second brother first started working, he bought a bottle of wine for New Year's Eve dinner. Although I was in my second year of work, I spent so much money last year and was still in debt. Of course, I didn't have the mood to think about the New Year's Eve dinner. Although this year's income wasn't very impressive, it was much better than last year. What should I buy? It was better to buy wine. A bottle of white wine and a bottle of red wine. He still had to give out New Year's money! Three nephews and a niece, probably a few hundred yuan…
